Earthquake Repairs & Seismic Strengthening Christchurch
Engineering Solutions to Restore and Fortify Your Property
Whether you are dealing with historical damage or proactively upgrading your building, structural resilience is key in Canterbury. Landmark Consultants specialises in both earthquake repairs to fix existing damage and seismic strengthening to bring buildings up to the New Building Standard (%NBS).
Expert Earthquake Repairs
Post-quake repairs require more than just cosmetic fixes. We analyse the structural impact of cracks in concrete, foundation settlement, and compromised connections. Our team designs engineering solutions for:
- Epoxy injection of concrete cracks
- Relevelling of residential and commercial foundations
- Repairing damaged structural steel and timber framing
Seismic Strengthening Strategies
Many older buildings in Christchurch sit below the required 34% or 67% NBS threshold. We design cost-effective retrofitting solutions that satisfy insurers, banks, and councils without breaking the bank. From installing new steel portal frames to adding bracing walls, we focus on solutions that are buildable and effective.
Protecting Asset Value
A strengthened building is not just safer; it is more valuable. Whether you need to secure insurance coverage or increase the marketability of a commercial property, our engineering designs provide the necessary certification and peace of mind.
Don't wait for the next event to test your building. Let our structural engineers assess your property and provide a clear roadmap for repair and strengthening.
